Influence of perceived social support and other factors on treatment adherence among adults living with chronic non-communicable diseases in the Ho Municipality of Ghana: A health facility-based cross-sectional study.

Background: In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), there is a noticeable shift from infectious diseases to chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs) based on recent studies. However, other studies suggest that social support can significantly improve self-care, increase knowledge of disease symptoms, and ultimately increase overall well-being in patients with CNCDs. In this study, we investigated the influence of perceived social support on treatment adherence among adults living with CNCDs in the Ho Municipality.
